Game Reveiw : Call of Robloxia


 The call of Robloxia is a very interactive and creative game created by ROBLOX users litozinnamon and Shaylan007. The game currently has 31.2 million visits, and is on the front page daily. This action-packed game has people flocking to it because of how realistic and how addicting it is to play. This game, in my opinion, definitely deserves its spot on the front page.  This game is definitely addicting, I've currently received more than 2.5k kills from this game. The basics of the game are fairly simple. You customize a few classes for yourself, and use those classes to fight the opposing team with your teammates. Though the concept of the game is simple, the details are extremely complex. There are so many weapon combinations you can use, and you can save four of them as your classes (five if you purchase the game pass). My favorite combination is a nambu as a side arm, and either a M1 carbine or a PTRS-41. Once you get onto a streak, you're probably hooked on this game, I know I am. I play this game daily, meeting fun and interesting people. So, if you're reading this, go to the front page, use the tab on the right to find this game, and play it. I believe it is possible to play this game for hours on end, that's how addicting it is. I know I've stressed that this game is addicting, it's because I mean it. Tell us in the comments how you feel about this game.

[UPDATE] - This game has now been updated, and it looks nothing like this. I personally hate it. It was fine the way it was.

What has the town of ROBLOXia become?

Continued Town of Robloxia!
 What has come of the town of ROBLOXia? It used to be a fun game where you got a job and explored the map buying houses and meeting friends, but now, it's the Online Dating capitol of ROBLOX. With so many copies of the game existing today, the nostalgic fun of the game has withered and died out. The only people who play this are people just starting out on ROBLOX and people who are looking to online date with each other (Just as I mentioned before). I know that 1dev3's version still exists, but it isn't the same as 1dev2's original place. I think we can all look back on some time that we played on 1dev2's original game and just had the time of our lives (or not). It just shows how far ROBLOX has come, and how much ROBLOX has changed, and not always in a good way. -GyroScald

Game Review : The Mad Murderer

 The Mad Murderer, a truly magnificent game. This game was created by ROBLOX user loleris and his group, MAD STUDIOs. The game, brings in around 2.5k - 4.5k consecutive players onto the game daily, and currently has more than 7.4 million place visits. This highly popular game is updated nearly daily, but these updates are fairly small. The Mad Murderer is a game which gives out player points for winning the game. The objective of the game is fairly simple. One person out of the server is the Murderer, one person is the sheriff, and the rest are innocent people. The goal of the murderer is to kill the sheriff and innocents before they are killed themselves. The goal of the sheriff is to identify the murderer and kill them. When you are an innocent, your job is to stay alive until the murderer is shot and killed, or retrieve the revolver after the sheriff is killed. The amount of player points you receive varies over periods of time, and tends to change every other week or so. When you are playing the game, the match has a timer on it, so that the round doesn't go on forever if the murderer is afk. The more people the murderer kills, the more time is added to the clock. When you spawn as the murderer, there is a brief 10 second waiting period before you receive the knife. Some of the more effective ways of murdering is to kill groups of people clustered together, identify the sheriff, or pretend you are innocent and wait until around 20 seconds left when everyone's guard is down and then strike. Now, when you are the sheriff, you want to lay low until the murderer is identified, that way you can kill them. If you are killed, your gun is dropped (The murderer cannot pick this up), and green sparkles appear around it so that it is easily recognizable. Any innocent can pick this up and become the next sheriff, and if that sheriff dies, then the cycle continues. Finally, if you are innocent, then the best thing to do is to avoid people as best as possible until you are sure of who the murderer is. After that then try to either stay hidden or lookout for the revolver. There are upgrades you can buy when you are the murderer, such as the shape-shifter ability, this allows you to change form one time into another person. Or the bulletproof ability, which keeps you protected from the first bullet that hits you so that you don't die. When you are innocent, there are some fun items you can buy such as Bloxy cola and a heart shaped balloon (Murderer items last one round, Innocent items last multiple rounds). Sadly, you cannot buy anything to upgrade yourself when you are a sheriff (for now). When I say buy, I mean with credits, not ROBUX. Credits are awarded as a login reward (every 12 hours). The alternative to the login award is buying them with robux, they go from very small prices to a heaping 10,000 robux for 50,000 credits. (F.Y.I, 50,000 credits is enough to last nearly a lifetime in the game). In all, the Mad Murderer is a great game, it almost gets 5/5 Stars, but I'm going to give it 4.5/5 since it lacks more than 4 maps, and that the lobby is fairly boring. Other than that, I absolutely love the game.



New ROBLOX default look


This is what the old ROBLOX look used to look like (right), versus the new ROBLOX look (left). The old ROBLOX look is the one most of us know and love. It's what we're used to seeing when we started our accounts in the very beginning, but now, there is a new look for when you start out on ROBLOX, and in my opinion, it is just a goldmine for people looking to online date with each other. See, I almost never wear packages, the ones I have are just there and mainly in case I ever happen to want to wear one (which is highly unlikely). Ever since packages stopped being Builders Club only items, more and more NBC players are online dating with each other. And simply the odd look of the new default look just makes me sick to my stomach. I've always hated the 2.0, but the 3.0 is just awful. The only reason I own one is because at one point I used it to do the invisible head glitch (patched). Other than that, I never, ever, use it. I am yet to see a BC play actually wearing the 3.0, and if I have seen one, I must have averted my eyes before I could get a good look at them. This package is just making ROBLOXians look more and more like LEGO figures, what's next, bringing back circle studs? (Which, in my opinion is about a million times better than the 3.0) Since ROBLOX has removed some updates before, I don't see why they don't remove this update. There was nothing wrong with the original default look, so I don't see why it had to be replaced. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

ROBLOX Price floor

This has honestly got to be one of the worst updates in ROBLOX history,if not the worst. This update makes it to where an NBC player can only buy about 3 shirts every month, and that's if they don't buy anything else. In my opinion, this is just ROBLOX screaming into our faces "GET BUILDERS CLUB NOW!" Even though we all remember that ROBLOX ad where the last thing it said is "It's free!". Though I was a builders club member for a year (And plan on buying another year in the near future), I still think this is just outrageous. You can't find a single shirt selling for less that 100 tickets or 10 ROBUX anywhere on ROBLOX. This is just annoying. It decreases shirt sales, so people who make good shirts are getting on about 1/4 of what they were getting before if they were selling it at a price that was low enough for NBC and BC users to buy. This is just bad in general, I am yet to find a good thing about it, except that ROBLOX will have more people buying BC because of this update, but even more people quitting because of this update.

Sealife Tophat

Sealife Top Hat
The sealife tophat, ah yes. To be honest this is just about my favorite hat that I own. The thing is, it only has 248 sells in two years. The story of how I 1st learned about it goes back to a day that I was playing a game called 'Fencing' (I'll do another blog post on that game later), and this girl was wearing this top hat, and I thought the tophat looked nice. So, I went and bought the top hat after selling a limited to get the money for it. I wear it very often now-a-days, and I wish more people wore this. What I don't get is why hats this amazing get swept under the rug, and pretty much every BC player who owns a 2.0 package has the Doge hat! I believe that it's not the hat that people don't like, but the price. I can see why nobody is buying this hat. The hat costs 550 robux, and most BC members begged their parents for BC so that they can buy the 2.0 and act like they're better than everyone else (I'm not saying any of you are). Therefore, they spend their money immediately and have never had more than 100 robux at a time. Now, I can see why regular BC members would not want to buy this either, I mean, one time I bought this Tophat for 600 robux, and I never wear it. I just want to raise awareness for it. This is gyro signing out ROBLOXians.
